Returning to the UWG staff in 2022 is Graham Craig. It will be his fourth year in Carrollton and his third season as the offensive coordinator. In addition, Craig is UWG's quarterbacks coach.

As the quarterbacks coach in 2021 Craig recruited and guided Harrison Frost to a single-season school record 3,618 passing yards and saw Frost be named a regional finalist for the Harlon Hill Award, which is given annually to the top Division II player in the country. Frost also tied a single-season record with 25 touchdown's under Craig's tutelage in 2021.

In 2019, Craig helped All-GSC quarterback Willie Candler to close out his career by becoming the most prolific passer in the history of West Georgia football, finishing his career with 8,346 passing yards. In addition, he guided redshirt freshman Garrett Bass, who was able to step in for Candler after an injury against West Alabama. Bass pushed the Wolves ahead in that game to take the victory, then engineered a second-half comeback against Mississippi College in the following week. 

Since his playing days, Craig has put together a varied background. He worked a season as a grad assistant at Arizona State, and he spent the 2018 season as an offensive analyst at Nevada. In April of 2019, Craig became the director of football operations at Samford before joining the UWG staff in the summer of 2019.

Craig was no stranger to David Dean and his leadership style as Craig was a reserve quarterback on Dean's 2012 National Championship team at Valdosta State before finishing his career at nearby LaGrange College.

At LaGrange, Craig had a prolific 2013 season, being named as one of 10 finalists for the Gagliardi Trophy which is Division III's version of the Heisman Trophy. The All-USA South Conference selection threw for 3,576 yards which set a school record. He also tossed 32 passing touchdowns that season, and had a school record 62.2 completion percentage. His best game that season was a 450-yard performance against Birmingham Southern.

A native of Birmingham and product of nationally-recognized Hoover High School, Craig is married to the former Lauren Young. The couple welcomed their first child, Lennon, in June of 2021.
